USN has launched a second seed-funding call, this time for Initial and Lifelong Learning Educational Collaborations.

With a particular focus on training activities and the internationalisation of our initial or lifelong learning teaching offer, this call seeks to fund the implementation of collaborative teaching within the YUFE pedagogical offer. The proposed training activities must demonstrate either a strong grounding in scientific research or a contribution to social, cultural, economic, or civic development.

The lead applicant must be a tenured academic or member of the teaching and research staff at Sorbonne Nouvelle University, who will lead the project in collaboration with academics from the partner universities of the YUFE alliance. Proposals must include the participation of at least one other YUFE partner university. Projects involving more than one YUFE member university will be encouraged.


➜ Application deadline: 13 March 2026 (16:00 CET)
• Maximum funding is 10,000€.
• Projects can run for maximum 12 months and planned training activities should start in the academic year 2026-2027 (semester 1 or semester 2).

This call for proposals is supported by a government grant managed by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche under the France 2030 program (ANR-23-GURE-0015).
